Netflix said on the 10th that `Choi Seung-hyun took great courage and decided to meet with reporters.'
Accordingly, TOP will conduct a media interview today (15th) as a cast member of 'Squid Game 2'.
'Squid Game Season 2' features a fierce battle between 'Gi-hoon' (Lee Jung-jae), who returns to the game after vowing revenge, and 'Frontman' (Lee Byung-hun), who greets him, and the real game begins again.
It is the first time in about 11 years that Top has been interviewed since the 2014 release 'Taza-God's Hand'. The first public appearance since the 2017 cannabis incident.

Later, he withdrew from Big Bang and announced his retirement from the entertainment industry, but controversy erupted when news of his joining 'Squid Game 2' suddenly spread.
In addition to Top's personal controversy, leading actors Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun were caught up in the controversy over Top's involvement in casting.
In response, director Hwang Dong-hyuk and Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun explained about Top's casting, but failed to convince the public.
In addition, after season 2 of 'Squid Game' was released, controversy over Top's acting skills was also added, raising criticism over the use of Top. The main content of the criticism is that the role in the play is also the role of a rapper whose career was ruined by drugs, and that poor rap and over-spokenness and movements hinder the flow of the play.
Top was completely excluded from the promotional schedule, including the production presentation of Season 2 of 'Squid Game', and attention is being paid to what he would say in the interview.
